Hi Missy :flowers: Dont be too hard on yourself! It was your anniversary... so a treat is justified :p I was actually at the docs today and she said to have a treat once a month, so treat that as your monthly treat! I was surprised she said its ok to have a treat, but she said its hard work...

Just wondering what vitamins, if any, you all take. I take cold liver oil with multi-vitamin and also beta carotene. I think I read somewhere these were the ones to take whilst on xen. Any one else take them? Kaz x

ooh very good Dave! 8lb in 2 weeks is fab!! Keep up the good work!! Glad the meal out went well! It takes half the fun out of eating out when you have to worry if what you ordered is going to make you do a sprint to the toilet!! I've only been out a few times... and to be honest I didnt...

:welcome2: to the forum slimalli Like Emma says, I too would def take the tablet with your brekkie & lunch. Only time not to take it is if you have skipped a meal or eating a fat free one. Regarding the side effects, well you wont have any if you stick to the rule, 5g of fat per 100g and no...

Hi Anna, Welcome to the forum! Goodluck with the tablets!! You'll do great on them!! & goodluck with SW. I remember when I first starting taking them.... I was crapping myself (not literally but ya know what I mean), was so nervous just waiting for a dreaded side effect..... but 2 months...

I'm really trying to drink loads (& bloody peeing loads too :mad:) but our water machine in work tastes a bit strange to me (dunno why), so do you think it would be ok to put some sugar free diluted juice in it to flavour it. I prefer that weak so would just be a splash? Cheers, Kaz :flowers:

I'm noseying about on here and on my email, I should however be working on a spreadsheet!!

I'm staying off the scales until I actually have to, i.e. with the doc, as it would kill me to see gains one day that could very well turn out to be a loss the next. Our bodies are strange!!

I use a little flora (light usually) and have no side effects :fingerscrossed: I havent been using it everyday but when i do i've been grand.

:woohoo:Welldone Tracey!! Thats a great loss in a week!! Great that you are feeling it in your clothes too!! I've a feeling I've lost nout, dunno why :sigh: But..... a pair of trousers that were tight, arent as tight, but thats the only thing i've noticed! Anyways, congrats on your that...

(have pcos too :sigh:) Just keep doing what you are doing, if you are doing it your own way you are more likely to stick to it anyways. Thats why I couldnt follow a set diet, (i'd love to do the cambridge diet, as their losses are huge, but know I'd prob never stick to eat). I'm surprise at...

Your meals are low in fat yes. Remember though, you can eat up to 15g of fat PER meal. Thats 45g in a day. Thats just a guide though, you dont have to eat that much, I find it hard to get up that high sometimes. a WW pizza is 5g of fat, you could've easily had that for lunch, and then a...

Hope you had a great holiday:character00238: You done very well to be good :D Well done!! At least you didnt over indulge in both food :eat: & drink :7834: :pI would've went with the drink option too :party0016: Goodluck with your WI :cross: You might just surprise yourself!!

Personally, I'd go for it, have a slice. Then you'll know for sure, as everyone is different, so what effects someone badly you might be able to get away with!

Goodluck with your WI Nat! Mine is next tuesday.... i've been good as gold all month but still sh*tting myself! lol But if I lose 35lbs in 6 months like Lise has, I'll be bloody delighted!!

Piink i'll have a look tonight in my cupboard at stuff I dont wear anymore and will PM you if I come across anything!

The adverts for that 'alli' say for every 2lb you lose that will help you lose another 1lb. And that is weaker form of Xen. So who knows. I'm certainly not getting my hopes up for 51% extra weight loss, no doubt i'd only be disappointed lol It affects people in different ways, look at...

Karen... you WILL get there ;) The way I think of it is, I've been given these tablets as a helping hand and I'll be damned if I'm going to let myself down and tell the doc I dont want them/help anymore! If she was willing to give me them and obviously for a damn good reason then I really did...

Part of me thinks, if you are eating a low fat diet what is the xen really doing for you (apart from making you think twice about putting fatty food in your mouth as who wants to suffer the consequences of the 'lovely' side effects). What I'm saying is, if you have a low fat diet and exercise...

oooh I dunno as I havent got weighed since starting Xen. (appt with doc 30-06-09 :fingerscrossed:) I like a good drink so going out and not drinking doesnt appeal to me! :( If I want to drink I will and then make sure I'm extra good the rest of the week.

:woohoo:You are doing so SO well Kraze! You should be very proud of yourself:wee:, I'm very 'jealous' :jelous: lol (& so damned chuffed for ya) :flowers:

Thanks, I lost that the week before I started the tablets. I dont get weighed again until 30-06-09 with the doc & its killing me! :sigh: But dont want to get into the habit of jumping on the scales, as I'd never be off them! :p

I think your other thread answered your own question! I'm usualy a wine drinker :party0036: Goes down too quickly though! I dont drink every week but when I do, believe me, I make up for the weekends I dont drink :o Was away last weekend and decided to drink vodka & diet 7up.

Good stuff ;) You'll enjoy them as they are yummy! you'll be tempted to have one every night! :p and with them only being 2g of fat or something sure why not!! Enjoy! ;)

Morning Karen, Dont beat yourself about it it! How much grams of fat was in it? Not too much I would imagine. Its too late now anyways, you munched it ;) Just remember how 'guilty' you are feeling now when you are tempted to reach for another one! It could've been worse, it could've been...

My doctors is the same, takes AGES to get an appt with them!! I actually prefer the walk-in surgery, but thats only once a week. Thankfully the doc that prescribed me my tablets booked me in there & then to see her again. Hopefully you get the same doc at the walk-in clinic...

I know they would if I asked, but no way I'd be mortified. My fella is a chef so he did try and advise me as much as he could, but its harder when I'm sucha fussy arse to begin with! :sigh:
